Your car should have ten hydraulic cylinders that work the roadster soft top (RST) and one for the roll bar.
If your going to replace one rear RST cylinder seal it's my suggestion that you consider doing ALL eight. Sometimes replacing just one creates additional pressure on the total system and you will find that additional leaks that take place not much later. Not to mention the amount of labor required to do one cylinder vs. all the rear cylinders.
